Wm Galley, a railroad employe, met
a terrible death at the depot yards in
Butte Tuesday morning. He went be-
tween the cars to uncouple them, the en-
gineer backing the train to slacken the
couplings. As no signal was given to
stop, the engineer continued to back.
Presently it was discovered that Galley
had caught his foot in frog, the train
had pushed him down and the wheels ran
upon him, cutting him to pieces and
wrapping the mutilated remains around
the wheels. His heart was torn from his
body, his teeth found scattered along the
track, and he was quite disemboweled.
1t was a frightful sight. A coroner's jury
pronounced the Montana Union company
guilty of culpaole negligence in not hav-
ing frogs and guard rails properly block
ed for the prevention of such accidents.
While the supreme court was in session
at Helena last July James A. Murray, of
Butte, sent special to the Independent,
detailing a wager made there that the
court would decide case then on trial
in certain manner. There having been
no such wager made, and the dispatch
evidently having been sent for the pur-
pose of influencing the court, that tribun-
al authorized the arrest of Murray for
contempt His case was heard at the
time, but no opinion was rendered by the
chief justice. The supreme court met
at Helena last Saturday for the purpose
of disposing of several cases heard but
not decided at the last term. At this
meeting the court held Murray guilty of
contempt and imposed fine of $500, the
maximum penalty under the law, and
costs amounting to about $500.
Gazette: Quite romance was devel
oped in Billings yesterday by the arrival
from Massachusetts of lady who regis
tered at the Grand as Mrs Goff It seems
that 25 years ago she and her husband
were young and struggling couple when
Mr.. Goff decided to come west and make
his fortune. He did not succeed as well
he expected and did not let her hear from
him since that time. In the meantime
the lady had, by hard work and economy,
succeeded in doing very well and is now
owner of hotel and farm :orth about
100000. By some means Or other she
has heard that her recreant spouse was
near Billings, and is here in search of
the Rocky Fork railroad and has been
sent for to come to Billings tonight, but
he knows nothing of what awaits him
here 1t will be quite surprise to him
to say the least.
A slick individual, giving his name as
Harper and representing himself as cor
respondent of the Century Magazine, sue
ceeded in swindling the First National
Bank of Helena out of 1926 by means of
forged check of the Century Publishing
company drawn on the Chemical Nation
al bank of New York. Harper had been
soliciting patronage from the citizens of
Helena for an illustrated wrlte-up Of that
city to appear in the January Century,
and to substantiate his claim as repre-
sentative Of that journal presented letters
of introduction from prominent persons
of Salt Lake. Bearing these letters he
had no difficulty in being identified at
the bank and securing the money on his
bogus check, after which he left the cap
ital city, presumably to seek new fields to
play his role Of magazine correspondent
Since his departure 1t transpires that his
name is Stien and that he had distinguish
ed himself several years since by killing
a bartender at Kansas City and other
minor crimes since that time
